Preschool- Letters C and D

Two weeks ago, we learned all about the letter C.  I didn't get any pictures of our preschool day with Kennedy, which I'm super bummed about since we made the cutest very hungry caterpillar headbands.

We strengthened our fine motor skills by playing with orange play dough.

C is for clouds

Practiced counting clouds (aka. cotton balls)

Naomi glued cotton balls on her Cc sheet.

We did some cloud painting.

Cloud paint: 3/4 c. shaving cream  1/4 c. white glue

The girls love touching the clouds after they dried; it's a really neat texture.

This past week, we learned all about the letter Dd.

The girls did a name match activity.

D is for dog

We talked about dogs and made dog puppets. (Can you tell what color we focused on?)

I've been experiment with different handwriting sheets because even though Mia is very capable of writing the letters, she's not always super interested.  Since she is only 3, it's a battle I'm not going to fight but I'm hoping I can find something that works for her.

After reading, Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes we made our own purple purses.

Here's the link to where I got the idea- Preschool Book Club

Naomi was really into this and took her coloring her purse very seriously.  Mia also participated in most of these activities but is currently not into her picture being taken.

The girls had so much fun with this dinosaur sensory bin.  I just used old coffee grounds and brown sugar as the base then added some rocks, toy snacks and toy dinosaurs.

While one was playing in the sensory bin, the other was using dinosaur cookie cutters as stamps.
